The bell rings. The halls are clear. Summer break is so close you can practically taste the iced coffee and hear the beach waves, right? But before you close the campus gates, toss the lanyard and take a well-deserved break from everything, there’s one crucial task you don’t want to skip: clearing out sensitive documents the right way.

From student records and financial aid forms to staff files and testing materials, schools and universities handle a lot of confidential information. While you’re soaking up the sun or catching up on sleep, a forgotten student record sitting in an unlocked cabinet could be turning into a data breach.

Good thing Proshred® makes it easy to wrap up the year securely—and affordably!

End-of-Year is Prime Time for Purging

Summer is prime time for fresh starts—campus maintenance, office cleanouts, tech upgrades, administrative resets… and shredding? With fewer staff around and fewer eyes on security, it’s also when sensitive information is most vulnerable to identity theft. That’s why you can’t let documents linger in storage rooms or unsecured filing cabinets all summer long.

Turn Vacation Mode ON and Worry Mode OFF

While you’re dreaming of unplugging from work, thieves and fraudsters are wide awake, just waiting for you to let your guard down. So, before going into vacation mode, remember to properly dispose of:

  • Outdated student records
  • HR files and payroll documents
  • Exam papers and grading sheets
  • Health records and IEPs
  • Donor information and alumni files

Leaving sensitive information unprotected? That’s a risk you don’t want to take! This is your moment to shred, declutter, and secure peace of mind.

FERPA, HIPAA, and Compliance Guaranteed

Yes, schools and universities are bound by strict privacy laws like FERPA and HIPAA. They all point to the same message: You’re responsible for protecting private information, and mistakes are expensive.

Here’s the truth: The average cost for an education-sector breach is over $3.5 million.

Proshred® helps you stay compliant by providing on-site document destruction services that meet or exceed regulatory standards. So, before you risk it with a dusty filing cabinet or a slow office shredder that overheats after 5 pages, let the PROs handle it.
